TikTok Creators: Earn More with Video Ads Commission
Learn how TikTok creators can boost income with Shop Ads commissions by authorizing videos for sellers. Start earning beyond affiliate payouts.
Boost TikTok Shop Commissions with Video Ad Authorization
💡 What Is Video Ad Authorization?
When you authorize your affiliate videos for Shop Ads, you're giving sellers permission to promote your content as part of their advertising campaigns. This unlocks more visibility for your videos and qualifies you for Shop Ads commissions, which are typically higher than standard affiliate rates.
Think of it as supercharging your content's reach while earning extra — without creating new videos.
🚀 How to Authorize Videos for Ads
There are two main ways to enable ad use for your affiliate content:
1. Via Creator Center Settings
To authorize all your eligible affiliate videos in bulk:
Step 1: Open the Creator Center and tap the 3-line icon at the top-right.
Step 2: Go to Settings > Privacy Settings.
Step 3: Scroll to "Authorize sellers to use affiliate videos in Shop Ads" and toggle it ON.
Step 4 (Optional): Tap Learn More for detailed info about the feature.
🔒 Note: With this setting on, sellers can use your videos in ads but cannot change the video link unless you've shared the video code with them directly.
2. Via the Product Detail Page
If you prefer to authorize specific products:
Step 1: On any eligible product page, swipe up to view Promotion Info.
Step 2: Tap the commission rate (e.g. “15%”) to view detailed earnings.
Step 3: Turn on/off ad authorization for that product as needed.
💰 Understanding Commission Types
TikTok offers different commission structures depending on how a product is being promoted:
Scenario | Commission Applied |
TAP Campaign | TAP-set commission only |
Target Collab (with Shop Ads rate) | Target Shop Ads rate |
Open Collab (with Shop Ads rate) | Open Shop Ads rate |
Target Collab (no Shop Ads rate) | Target Standard rate |
Open Collab (no Shop Ads rate) | Open Standard rate |
👉 If none of the above are set but a standard 15% rate exists, that’s what you’ll earn — even through ads.
🧾 How to Check Your Earnings
Track your ad commissions with:
Creator Center > Toolkit > Earnings > Affiliate Orders
You’ll be able to see:
Standard affiliate commissions
Bonus commissions from TikTok Shop
Shop Ads commissions
This breakdown helps you understand how much of your income is coming from ad-enabled content.
📌 FAQs Creators Ask
Q: If I turn on mass authorization, can sellers boost all my affiliate videos?
Yes — all eligible affiliate videos with product links can be used in ads.
Q: Can I turn it off later?
Absolutely. Just return to settings and toggle it off anytime.
Q: What happens if I turn it off mid-campaign?
Sellers' ads using your videos will be paused immediately. They'll need to restart the ads if you turn it back on later.
Q: Do I still need to share video codes?
Only for videos that don’t already have affiliate links or use non-affiliate product links. Otherwise, mass authorization is enough.
